  • No worries. There have been lots of progress in Russia and I have shared plenty of posts about it in this community. That’s why the KKE premise of active persecution of marxists doesn’t fit well with reality if we investigate plenty of Grassroot initiatives that have been done in Russia. However, it does fit well with Europe though!

    As for the case in the news presented by KKE, I am pretty sure that the person could have been confused with a saboteur which are running rampant in Russia and the Donetsk. The Banderites(and/or their backers) are paying huge sums to any citizen to commit acts of sabotage. One example will be in the same Yekaterinburg region where a group of teenagers set fire to a locomotive on orders from a foreign intelligence officer -> https://tass.ru/proisshestviya/24762711. They were promised 120,000 rubles for their work.

    As of any country that is currently being sieged by the imperialist, if you give hints of a desire of sabotage, you will be arrested and this can happen anywhere from Iran to China.


  • The situation in Russia is described by the KPRF as follows:

    • As for the Altai Krai, the communists there have a “very militant organization,” although there is also a “purely regional conflict.” At the federal level, by contrast, it seems the CPRF has received “favored treatment,” Kalachev added. However, one can expect more situations in which local CPRF branches will face pressure ahead of the Duma campaign, the political scientist suggested.

    • “I certainly wouldn’t talk about systemic pressure across the country. Such arrests could actually backfire and strengthen the party’s position, bolstering its image as the sole opposition,” says political scientist Dmitry Elovsky. With the right media promotion from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, such criminal cases could well boost the party’s ratings ahead of the State Duma elections, since the protest-minded electorate hasn’t gone away, he notes.

    In other words, prison sentence for communists happen at a regional level and at a very low intensity compared to the West. Marxism is embraced and openly studied as I posted here -> https://lemmygrad.ml/post/9618161

    As for the source, it comes from the KKE which has history with problematic views as explained in this easy in Prolewiki. Within their current ideology, they consider China and Russia as imperialist so articles like this(also in other articles about China) they tend to decontextualize the news while exaggerating certain arguments to make you arrive to that conclusion. You can also find similar rhetorical writing when they talk about the Ukraine war and China.

    For my perspective, they tend to create a lot fiction and lies just like the imperialist do regularly to bash Russia and China. As the author of the essay above, they are not allies but traitors.
